Zombie Koi Fish Yin Yang Tattoo

Shandra and her husband wanted to get a tattoo together. They asked me to design two zombie koi in the yin and yang postion, he would get one on his back toward the side and Shandra would to the same on her back. So when they stand together the design will match and be complete. Copyright Sam Phillips www.samphillips.co.nz

Wolf Skin Gypsy Tattoo Print

I’m not a big animal rights activist but I thought this design could represent animal poaching. And how people can over look how cruel it is just to own or use a product. Beauty at the cost of death? This limited edition print is available to purchase at http://samphillipsillustration.bigcartel.com/product/wolf-skin-print . Copyright Sam Phillips www.samphillips.co.nz

Gypsy Holding Flowers Tattoo


This is a design I started but it wasn't what the client was after, so I had to design him another one. I decided to change a few things and finish it just for fun. Copyright Sam Phillips www.samphillips.co.nz
